THE MARIO LANZA SHOW WITH GUEST DEBBIE REYNOLDS

2016 has been a rotten year with death claiming so many celebrities -- with Debbie Reynolds' passing last night being the latest in a long line. In my mind's eye I consider this week to be Death's Irene perfecta. That 1973 musical featured Debbie Reynolds (in her Broadway debut), George Irving (in a Tony-winning performance), and a 15-year-old Carrie Fisher -- all taken this week. **sigh**

This week's old-time radio program features a June 20, 1952 appearance with Debbie Reynolds as the guest on The Mario Lanza Show, brought to you by Coca Cola.
